My answer would be C. Humans

I choose this answer because in most recent times humans build over environments as well as sometime accidentally causing arson which destroys possibly a whole ecosystem following many different animals.

Answer:

Asteroid

Explanation:

The most recent extinction is widely believed to have been as a result of the collision of a comet/Asteroid with the earth crust. This left a massive crater on the earth surface in the region of Yucatan Peninsula at the Gulf of Mexico.

The collision affected the earth's climate severely and affected life on the earth in general. The temperature warmed and dunes of dust particles rose up to blanket the atmosphere.

The extinction is known as the Cretaceous-Paleogene, K-T extinction. It marked the beginning of the Cenozoic era and the end of the mesozoic.

The K-T extinction occurred about 66million years ago and a remarkable 75% of all organisms were wiped out. Notably was the non-avian dinosaurs. Some birds, mammals, fishes were wiped out. This extinction also birthed new species.

Explain why countries like australia and america have more than one standard time that is used
kkurt [141]
The different standard times are known as time zones. Time zones are useful because  they can allow people to be active during the day and sleep during the night. If people spent hours with sunlight sleeping and worked in the dark, they would likely suffer health problems.

Big countries such as Australia and the United States have many time zones so that people can work and sleep in the time that is adjusted to the hours with sunlight in their specific location.
